College Board, SAT, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of College Board.  \nReading and Writing  \nModule 1  \n(33 questions)  \nQUESTION 1  \nChoice A is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of the writing system created by Sequoyah. In this context,“widespread” means widely accepted or practiced. The text indicates that because Sequoyah’s script accurately represented the spoken sounds of the Cherokee language and was easy to learn, nearly all Cherokee people were able to read and write it soon after it was created. This context demonstrates that the script was widely used by the Cherokee people.  \nChoice B is incorrect. In this context,“careful”would mean exercised with care and attentive concern. Although the work of creating a writing system likely involved great care, the text indicates that the system was “easy to learn,” which conflicts with the idea that using this system requires a noteworthy amount of care.  \nChoice C is incorrect because in this context “unintended” means not deliberate. The idea that using Sequoyah’s script was unintentional conflicts directly with the claim that it was easy to learn and used by “over 90% of the Cherokee people” by  \n1830. In fact, because one had to learn this system, it’s not clear how one could use it unintentionally. Choice D is incorrect because in this context “infrequent”means rare or not occurring often, which conflicts directly with the claim that“over 90% of the Cherokee people” were using Sequoyah’s script by 1830.  \n2 SAT PRACTICE TEST \\#3 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice A is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Nuttall’s 1886 research paper. In this context,“acknowledged”  \nmeans recognized as having a certain status. The text indicates that other researchers recognized Nuttall’s work as groundbreaking because of its“convincing demonstration” related to the age of the ancient sculptures. In other words, the researchers recognized the groundbreaking status of Nuttall’s work.  \nChoice B is incorrect because in this context,“ensured” would mean to have guaranteed or made sure something was the case. The text states that other researchers gave Nuttall’s work recognition after it was published, but there’sno indication that they contributed to the work or had any involvement that would have allowed them to make sure the work would be groundbreaking.  \nChoice C is incorrect because the text doesn’t suggest that other researchers“denied,” or refused to admit or accept, that Nuttall’s work was groundbreaking; on the contrary, it indicates that researchers praised the work, recognizing itas groundbreaking due to its “convincing demonstration” related to the age of the ancient sculptures. Choice D is incorrect because the text doesn’t suggest that other researchers “underestimated,” or undervalued, Nuttall’s work; on the contrary, it indicates that researchers praised the work, recognizing it as groundbreaking due to its “convincing demonstration” related to the age of the ancient sculptures.  \nQUESTION 3  \nChoice A is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of self-government among the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. In this context,“implement” means to carry out or put into effect. The text states that the National Council generates laws, while the principal chief and cabinet officials are responsible for “devising policies and administering services in accordance with” those laws. This context suggests that the principal chief and cabinet officials implement the laws: they put the laws into effect by creating policies and administering services that accord with those laws.  \nChoice B is incorrect because “presume” in this context would mean to assume based on incomplete information, and the tex","cbCaivkqCJkPYdYX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivkqCJkPYdYX","pdf",711595,51,"English","# Reading and Writing\n## Module 1 (33 questions)\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4","[{\"question\":\"What do these answer explanations focus on?\",\"answer\":\"They provide explanations for answers on the digital SAT, specifically for Reading and Writing Module 1 in Practice Test #3 (33 questions).\"},{\"question\":\"How are correct answers determined in the explanations?\",\"answer\":\"Each correct choice is selected because it best completes the passage’s discussion, matching the context and the intended meaning of key terms and claims.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are the incorrect choices rejected?\",\"answer\":\"The explanations state why each wrong option conflicts with the passage’s context—often by using a definition that doesn’t fit the passage’s statements or by contradicting what the text claims.\"}]","SAT Practice Test - 3 - Answer Explanations | PDF",129]
